Sectarian Voting is Britain's Future

In future, all elections in Britain will be decided by sectarian voting. All politics is identity politics. Either pick a side or lose by default.

Zack Polanski's Green Party decisively won last week's Gorton & Denton by-election in Manchester, beating Matt Goodwin and Reform UK by 4,402 votes, and putting Labour in third place.

Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch, and Nigel Farage are all blaming sectarian and family voting because the Greens effectively mobilised the Muslim enclave in Gorton as an ethnic block vote.

But Reform fail to recognise that this is their fault. They engaged in sectarianism too: unsuccessfully courting Muslim, Hindu, and Sikh voters, at the expense of the unrepresented white working class in Denton. No party spoke specifically to their concerns, and so the majority stayed at home and didn't vote.

You can't complain about sectarianism when you pander to minorities, only less successfully. You cannot represent the British people if you cannot define a British person. You cannot say "This is the last election," if you also insist that demographics aren't destiny. And you can't dismiss critics as "Very Online" if you make your living on Substack.

Either you engage with the enemy on the same terms, or you forfeit the battle.

Either Reform becomes a nativist party for the forgotten indigenous majority, or another party will supplant them — just as the Greens replaced Labour with the "Camp of the Saints" coalition of insane progressives and immigrant colonists.
